► Full song at - 1:27 [Song Name: House Down Under]
Video game themes are cool. Underground areas and boss themes are both cool. So here's me making an underground boss area theme. Wacky scales included (but not intentionally somehow). The overall cave vibe was inspired by JRPG SNES stuff while the heavy percussion was inspired by stuff like Donkey Kong Country and Final Fantasy VII. Random influences all around. I hope you enjoy! (And a special shout out to all the people who have used my music in their DnD campaigns. Love ya!)

![Attempting to Make a Sad Anime Theme in 10 Minutes || Shady Cicada
► Full song at - 8:14
► The rap - 10:16
Sad Anime Themes. The anthem of lost waifus, shonen protagonists realizing their potential after wanting to quit, and emotional flashbacks. What even is an anime without a sad anime theme? (I wouldnt know. I actually dont watch a lot of anime. I know, Im a big faker). Well hey, composing video game and anime-style music is pretty great/fun and right down my alley. So surely nothing will go wrong if I attempt to make a sad anime song in 10 minutes....right? Wait...did we not do it in 10 minutes? Uh...Anyway! This is Attempting to Make a Sad Anime Theme in 10 Minutes. I hope you enjoy! Also gummy worms.

═══════════════════════════════════════════════
For those lovable characters with hearts of mold. Im kidding though. Edgy characters can be a wonderful thing and theyre honestly a favorite personality trait of mine (especially when theyre also dorks, like Raiden or recently Bayonetta 3s Viola). They always have amazing music to back them as well, so I tried to capture that myself (as an arcade-y feelng level theme) in my own style. This is Song That Plays When You Fight Your Enemies (But You’re Super Edgy). I hope you enjoy the song!

![Attempting to Make a 5 Minute Video Game Song in 1 Minute || Shady Cicada
► Full song [Memory Lane (Demo)] at - 5:56
Video game songs. Theyre at the top (or at least close) when it comes to atmosphere. Video game songs can pretty much invoke any emotion/mood given the time and effort put into them. One of the coolest parts about video game music is their ability to loop while still staying fresh (for the most part, at least). Can the same effects be acheieved in 1 minute? Maybe. But how about 1 EXTENDED minute? What does that even mean? Did I make that up? Or have you all been blind to the TRUTH. I have no idea what Im saying. I hope you enjoy whatever mess this is. I definitely enjoyed the ridiculous result. This is Attempting to Make a 5 Minute Video Game Song in 1 Minute.

![Attempting to Make Royalty Free Music in 10 Minutes || Shady Cicada
► Full song at - 4:22
► Redone version at - 5:56
Royalty Free Music. Also sometimes known as Kickstarter Trailer Themes. Now you might be wondering Shady, what can you tell us about royalty free music and kickstarter trailer themes?. The answer is...nothing. Have you ever seen a commercial/ad/promotional video from a tabletop perspective? Maybe with minimalist solid colors and a cup of some kind of hot drink on the side? A royalty free song / kickstarter trailer theme is something that can capture all of that (I think). Now even though this video is a bit of a joke, I must also mention that there is nothing wrong with the genre/style itself. The fact that it is used so much is a testament to how effective it is. On top of that, there is nothing wrong with kickstarter either. A lot of amazing things have come from that site (a lot of questionable things too, but still). Anyway, I have no idea how I came up with the idea to make this video, but Im glad I did. It was a lot of fun. Here is Attempting to Make Royalty Free Music in 10 Minutes. I hope you enjoy!

![How To: Make a Weird Video Game Area Theme in 5 Minutes (+ Full Song at the End) || Shady Cicada
► Full song at - 1:56 [Song Name: Soulless Cacophony]
Weird Video Game Area Themes. What counts as a weird video game area theme? Well...do you ever end up in an area where you feel unsettled? Or maybe its comepletely normal with one or two uncanny themes strewn about. It doesnt always need to be unsettling. Maybe its just...not normal. I dont know what Im talking about. ANYWAYS, Ive really been wanting to explore that weird style for awhile. Obviously the weirdness factor ranges from person to person, but hopefully this song gave off what I was feeling at the time. This is How To: Make a Weird Video Game Area Theme in 5 Minutes. I hope you enjoy! This song was inspired by games like the Mother series, Undertale, Final Fantasy 7, Paper Mario, and my own silly imagination.

What a year. It was both a very productive/amazing one and a very stressful/depressing one. Im sure many people watching this share similar views on 2021. But all Ill say is: Im incredibly grateful to have you all as a community. Even when my brain sometimes tries to convince me that Im not worth doing any of this, you guys always remind me that what Im doing is pretty good. Im too tired to type more, but just know that I love all of you and Im so thankful for all of the opportunities youve given me by helping this channel grow. Im working on so many projects now. Keep an eye out, becuase your video game composer bug boy is gonna be reelin em in everywhere.. Thank you (:
